This from Thai Visa is have no idea if it's accurate but if anyone is planning a trip might be worth a bit reseach in case it is. For some reason it was in there news realease section but no news article that I saw.

Hi Guys,

Just a warning for anyone wanting to renew their visa in the coming week not to bother coming over here to Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi or Khota Bharu for the next few days as the consulates are closed until the 26th due to the Deepavali and end of Ramadan celebrations. They reopen on the 26th October.

Hope this helps anyone thinking of traveling here as I didnt know myself until arriving yesterday, lucky for me though that they (NJ Bookstore, Penang) were able to do my visa via express (extra 80 ringit) otherwise I would have been stuck till next weekend.

Its most likely true for sure,

The end of Ramadam 22-23rd ?, is celebrated around the world with Eid , like christmas is to christians , in its importance with the family etc.

Im working in algeria, and this visa issue is affecting all our expats gettting new work visas, Most Muslim based Embassies world wide will be affected i imagine.

Paris , London, Australia will all be closed 100%
